The Midlands Regional Discussion - Part 9

[A.J]

surprisingly enough, it's piddling down here at the mo!.....a sharp shower has sprung up from nowhere!

[Ian Ballinger]

Brilliant sunny morning here......I was expecting rain today ?

[conor123]

The wall of stratocumulus moving through Wales will be here within minutes so looks like business as usual weather is returning after what has been a truly glorious spell of weather.

Well its hot and sunny again here today in Worcestershire. So much for the rain / storms and cooling down.

Come on cooler weather please hurry up - Im fed up of this already (and yes I know Im probably in the minority)

[Costa Del Fal]

Yep very warm across the West Midlands again today. 23c. I thought it was only going to reach about 20/21c they said yesterday!

[conor123]

Cloudy and 20.8c here, the heavy showers around as usual dodging us but inflicting the overcast skies.

Stop moaning. At least you have showers in the vicinity lol.

Id rather them stay away so we could have sunshine then slide 5 miles south of us, it just makes the pain worse :lol:

Hopefully the sharp showers on the Welsh border can build a bit further south as it looks like those ones will slide 5 miles north in an hours time to rub salt in the wounds :lol:

Well if they do I'll be in the same boat as they'll slip just south of here. I give up lol!

[conor123]

The sun always make skies look so much darker yet when the sun hides, its almost just normal cloud! A little darker to my North but otherwise all quiet here.

[paul73uk]

Also seeing dark clouds to the North from Dudley. Nothing happening though as yet.

[paul73uk]

Just started to rain here in Dudley, and the wind had picked right up as well. 5 minutes ago there was pretty much no wind. It's getting darker & darker as well.

Edit: Now heavy rain, and still getting darker!

[JinxTheCat]

[paul73uk]

Very torrential rain here.

Same here in Dudley, starting to look a bit brighter towards the north though now.

[Adzyy]

So jealous of you all right now. Sun and overcast skies to my right. Meh.

[JinxTheCat]

Ooh i love this weather

Knew it :lol: you always get the downpours/heavier snow/sunshine when it's cloudy here, nothing but the odd spot of rain here with bright skies and the heavy showers north and south :lol:

[A.J]

that clump of precip nr Wolverhampton has side swiped me, heading towards Lichfield/Tamworth.....The bad news is that it appears that all cells in the west midland are currently dissipating.....not good

[Costa Del Fal]

Well, I didnt get a Thunderstorm though sure I saw one lightning flash but the rain was exceptional. The heaviest core must have been right over us. I notice how its all heading East now when it was heading NE before hence we got hit very nicely.

Overall, very happy as weve enjoyed another very warm day also.

Verry heavy rain here in north birmingham how ever no tnl though.

[BlueHedgehog074]

A nice very heavy shower here now. Kinda did not expect this, though it seemed to have come from that intensifying shower to the South/South-West.

[SteveElbows]

6 instances of thunder heard by me here in Nuneaton in the last 15 mins or so
